Licenses may be purchased for 1, 2 or 3 years as long as the rabies vaccination
is valid for the same period.
To qualify for a reduced-fee Senior Citizen license, the person must
meet the following criteria:
Be a resident of the City and, except for legal dependents, be the
sole user of the utilities; and
Be 62 years of age or older, or be disabled as established by The

The cost for licensing unaltered or fertile pets is higher than for licensing
spayed or neutered pets in order to promote sterilization and to reduce
pet overpopulation and starvation.
Payment for your license is due on the last day of the month in which
your current license expires. New licenses are due within 30 days of ownership
or possession of the dog or new residence in the City of Antioch.
By ordinance, a late fee of $33 is added to each license that is not
purchased by the due date.
Payment Options
You may pay for your license through the mail
with a check or money order made payable to Antioch Dog Licensing. Cash
and credit card payments (Visa/MC) are accepted if you are licensing at
Antioch Animal Services.
If you have received a billing or renewal notice in the mail, you may
be eligible to pay for your license online
with a major credit card (Visa / MasterCard / AmEx / Discover).
Required Paperwork
A rabies vaccination certificate must be submitted if the rabies vaccination
has expired or if your renewal notice requires you to do so. Check your
certificate for correct address and pet information.
Please include a spay/neuter certificate if the pet has been altered
since the last licensing period.
Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so please retain a copy of
your vaccination certificate for your records.
